Jackson quarterfinal game to be played Saturday

Jackson will play its Class 5 quarterfinal football game against Ladue at 1 p.m. Saturday at Saint Louis University High School.

The Missouri State High School Activities Association designated the time and place Monday.

Most quarterfinals around the state are being played Friday night, but Ladue does not have lights at its football facility.

Jackson (10-1) advanced with a dramatic 39-35 win over Vianney, rallying from a 35-3 halftime deficit in the District 1 championship game. The Indians scored two touchdowns in the final 83 seconds to keep their season alive.

Ladue (11-1) trailed 28-6 at halftime in its District 2 final against Webster Groves but emerged with a 34-28 win. The Rams scored the winning TD in the final minute.
